Well as i said look at threadripper prices, its basically change the "$" to a "£", a grand for the high end 1950x in america, same price over here, don't see why vega would be any different unless amd price it differently based on its performance vs the competition.

These prices. 
Possible if AMD think the bundles bring it value.

Possible they're placeholder prices, though they look a bit specific, someone on reddit checked on the nz prices and found several places listing the same price. =/

Price it at 1080ti prices, I expect 1080ti performance.

Dem prices!
Indeed, if amd think they can price them that high because of these forced "bundles" while presumably lacking performance they need to clue into whats going on in the real world.
Yeah he said the Vega 56 HBM voltage maybe lower than the 64 to reduce the TDP. A BIOS flash could raise it to the 64 level but he did warn that the AMD may not allow this by locking the BIOS. Overall he preferred Vega 56 due to potential performance and lower price.
That NZ shop has a 1080ti for $50 more so it makes no sense given the quoted launch prices. Either they are place-holder prices or bundle prices. If the FE launched at $999 & can be found for sale in the uk at £988 then... well.... damn, I just want a Vega56 at msrp.
Don't look like placeholder prices - usually they will either be a copy and paste of a similar product from the same manufacturer (and AMD and/or Sapphire doesn't really have anything in that price range) or set to something silly like 999999.99.

Pricing it high makes it look premium.
Which also automatically raises it in the price\performance stakes to the 1080 ti, instead of where amd are allegedly aiming it at the 1080, so its a dumb move if true.

Week on the Rohypnol??
Hey Doc, I need a load of rohypnol – it’s for myself, as I am waiting for the reviews of a piece of computer hardware. Hey Doc, why are you calling the police?

And think about this, supply of these could possibly be constrained (though amd says the 2 week delay was to build up a good amount of stock) and miners seemingly want to get their hands on them, so its entirely possible those prices don't even factor in that.....yet
Ryzen wasn't like that though. After the initial rush to buy ends the prices will likely level out.
